Stuart: Read post #9 and you will see what repairs I am talking about. Pretty sure we have all seen them. Big globs of brass with the flux overheated and now part of the braze. No real strength. As I said in my earliest post: no doubt there are proper uses for brazing, but I haven't found them. Lynn has given some good examples about where braze actually belongs, as have you. But are these the kinds of things the average CMP restorer is doing? Richard, I would suggest your proper use of brazing is the exception and not the rule. Most of the brazing I have been exposed to is not the kind of work anyone should be proud of.
I'll add a shot or two of items at work waiting for repair from the brazing bubbas.
